The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 69 - Fireball Enthusiast
Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Fireball Enthusiast
Chapter 69 -69 Fireball Enthusiast
“Master, I did it!”
Nong Si suddenly opened her eyes, turned to Bai Yi, and exclaimed excitedly.
Bai Yi had come out today specifically to witness this moment.
Now that there was a giant banyan in the territory, nothing could escape its perception, so there was no longer a need for anyone to stay home.
Moreover, the needle erosion insects bred yesterday had also become complete, and even with the troops split into two, Bai Yi had enough combat power to maintain stability.
Only then did they dare to boldly venture out.
It was the confidence brought by the 600 needle erosion insects by her side!
It took five whole days, and Nong Si finally completed her understanding of the Space Element just three minutes before today’s challenge began.
“Quick, try it, what exactly does the Space Element do?!”
But Nong Si scratched her head, a bit embarrassed.
“But Master, I’ve only just learned to control the Space Element, I haven’t started researching yet…”
Seeing Bai Yi about to be disappointed, Nong Si quickly added:
“However, I can try it with Universal Magic!
Among elemental magic, there are two Universal Magic spells that can be used with most elements!”
What Nong Si referred to were the Elemental Arrow and Elemental Ball spells.
The latter’s classic representation is the widely known Fireball Technique, while the former is the Water Arrow Technique.
Although they might not cause significant damage, they are simple to cast and highly compatible.
As long as one doesn’t mix a Fire Element with a Water Element to create an elemental ball, there’s basically no chance of failure.
As for really failing…
It would only prove that the spellcaster truly had no casting talent and should switch to being a warrior instead.
“Alright!”
Bai Yi nodded and gave Nong Si a thumbs-up, quickly retreating behind a banyan tree in the white mist.
Poking his head out and watching from afar, he gestured encouragement once more.
The challenge was about to begin, and Bai Yi dared not stay too close to the teleportation array.
Considering the pattern of recent days, there were only two possibilities today.
Either the refresh point would have a joyful addition, or the monster ranks would break through.
And since the refresh point had long been determined with no additions, it could only mean 2nd Rank monsters.
This was different from previous level upgrades; a 1st Rank level 20 and a level 20 that has broken through to 2nd Rank are not the same beings.
She was still just a weak and ordinary 2nd Rank Lord, who had barely made it to fourth place on the Lord’s Personal Combat Power ranking, lacking the power to take on hundreds alone.
Watching her timid… utterly cautious Master, Nong Si sighed softly, turned, and faced the teleportation array, starting to attempt forming a Space Ball.
[Current difficulty level 29, first wave: lv.20 Berserk Zombies*400]
“Indeed, it’s 2nd Rank!”
Bai Yi had the needle erosion insects spread out in two columns, attacking the zombies from the sides.
Seeing the movements of the needle erosion insects, Nong Si understood this was an opportunity for her to test.
The twisted sphere she had prepared in her hands flew out according to her will.
Unlike Fireballs and Water Balls, which are material-like spells requiring a strong throw or added Wind Magic for sufficient range,
The Space Ball seemed to not exist in this world, drifting out slowly, unfettered by gravity.
The slightly light-distorted sphere was hard to detect if Bai Yi hadn’t been watching intently all along.
Not to mention the zombies, who could barely muster a drop of intelligence.
The charging zombies touched the approaching Space Ball within three seconds.
No flesh and blood splattered, no spatial distortion.
The Space Ball seemed independent of this world, steadfastly devouring everything it touched, leaving gaping holes in the zombies that collided with it.
This felt a lot like the Second Life Bai Yi had obtained before, yet it held some differences.
The Space Ball clearly had a devouring essence, while the Blood Blade from the Second Life was more akin to annihilation.
But a single Space Ball couldn’t withstand the onslaught of 2nd Rank zombies.
With her first experience, Nong Si’s subsequent Space Magic casting became much smoother, and with a sweeping motion of her magic wand, three invisible arrows fanned out before her.
This was the result of her practice over this period; she could now simultaneously control over three Elemental Arrows.
Though this meant less accuracy,
Against a cluster of zombies, unless unimaginably unlucky, she could achieve a 100% hit rate.
When appearing in the form of Elemental Arrows, the Space Element displayed entirely different properties.
One could even say they were completely opposite.
The three invisible arrows swiftly and sharply sliced through the horde as if determined to penetrate everything, stirring up sprays of blood among the zombies.
“It’s no use!”
The damage of Space Arrows was indeed lethal to ordinary beings but was just a superficial injury to zombies who didn’t fear bleeding.
Seeing the tide of zombies about to close in, Nong Si decisively abandoned the unfamiliar Space Element.
A Compressed Wind Ball rapidly formed in front of her, turning a fiery hue right before exploding.
Boom!
The warm winds laced with flames blew toward the zombies as Nong Si controlled them.
This was her self-researched 2nd Rank spell, or rather, a product of a research failure.
Initially, Nong Si intended to fuse two elements in the most stable Elemental Ball form but it suddenly exploded during fusion.
Although she didn’t achieve her original goal, the new spell had indeed been developed.
It wasn’t highly damaging, but in this situation, it proved perfect for blocking the zombies.
By this point, the subsequent steps became much more familiar.
It was much like the usual defense against undead hordes during training with Zhan Yi in the territory.
Four-linked Fireball, Fireball: Combustion Type, Fireball: Explosion Type…
One Fire Series spell after another was cast from her magic wand or hands.
Heh, in truth, her talent for Fire Series spells wasn’t particularly great, at least her physical aptitude wasn’t.
The Fire Element absorption rate was far less than that of the Ice Element; her Elemental Affinity couldn’t even compare to the newly acquired Space Element.
Yet, for some reason, she was inexplicably fond of Fire Series, especially the Fireball Technique.
So much so that…
“Yes, next up, Scatter Fireball!”
Currently, nearly a third of the spells in her list were Fireballs.
With over half of her Magic Power Value expended, a charred ground was left before Nong Si.
“Waste…”
From behind, Bai Yi mumbled.
Still, it was the first time Bai Yi had seen Nong Si unleash her full strength and felt quite satisfied.
Whether it was the later Fire Series spells or the initial Space Magic, he was pleased.
Of course, satisfaction aside,
Bai Yi still sent two needle erosion insects to call Nong Si back.
Fire Series spells were somewhat unfriendly to needle erosion insects.
Unfortunately, the fire-resistant shell of Marching Ants couldn’t be extracted, or Bai Yi wouldn’t leave such a glaring weakness for the needle erosion insects.
The flames from Nong Si just now not only affected the needle erosion insects but also burned away half the spore fog from the Fungus Umbrella.
However, this didn’t have too significant an impact.
Because Bai Yi discovered, these zombies couldn’t be parasitized by the spores of the Fungus Umbrella?
Not being normal creatures, they didn’t possess the respiratory function.
The spore fog couldn’t even invade if it tried, as there wasn’t a suitable environment for reproduction.
—unless Bai Yi actively used superpower to force growth.
It was reasonable, though the blood flesh of zombies wasn’t entirely useless, at least it served well as fertilizer for the Fungus Umbrella.
The needle erosion insects, whose diet was specially modified, didn’t mind the not-so-fresh blood flesh either.
But this served as a warning for Bai Yi.

There were creatures in this world capable of circumventing the spore fog surrounding the territory, and even with the intended coverage of the potato mine line, they were not completely foolproof.
“After the giant banyan modification is complete, the Fungus Umbrella needs modification too, and it’s best to modify a few Mutated Banyans as well…”
Yet Bai Yi ceased to ponder further.
The second wave of zombies (strike that) was about to strike.
